Everywhere you look whether online, family friends or your Pediatrician. They all say wait till the child is 1 years old. I believe it is because their stomachs can't handle whole milk too early and whether you're breast feeding or giving formula, they will get the best nutrients till it's time for whole milk.

I think 10 months old is too early to give cow milk to a baby. Cow milk does not have enough nutrients in it for human babies. It is also harder to digest and can cause problems to the GI tract. It is best to wait until a baby is 12 months old before switching to cow milk. It is ok to give a 10 month old yogurt, cheese and other processed dairy products.
